The 34-398 is a 50mm diameter metallic mirror, specifically a protected silver mirror, sourced from Edmund Optics. This mirror is designed to reflect light within the wavelength range of 450-10000nm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The mirror's geometry is circular with a thickness of 5mm, providing a robust and stable platform for optical systems. It is made from fused silica, a material known for its excellent optical properties, high damage threshold, and chemical resistance. This makes the mirror ideal for use in harsh environments where other materials might degrade or fail.
The mirror's coating is a protected silver coating, identified as 'edm dprotsil3001000'. This coating provides high reflectivity across the specified wavelength range, while also offering excellent environmental stability. The 'protected' nature of the coating means it is less susceptible to tarnishing or oxidation, further enhancing its longevity and reliability.
The mirror is designed in the shape of a thin lens, which can be beneficial in certain optical systems where thin, lightweight elements are required. The mirror's specifications and properties make it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of optical applications.
